A 21-year-old woman reported Sunday she’d been raped in a hotel room by a man she had met in a bar.
The woman told police she’d gone to Brothers Bar and Grill with friends around midnight Sunday, Bloomington Police Department Capt. Steve Kellams said. There, she met a 23-year-old man from out of town and began drinking with him.
At about 3 a.m., the man invited her back to his hotel room to play video games, she said. On the way, she made it clear to him she would not have sex with him.
They returned to the hotel, and at some point, she passed out, she told police. At about 10 a.m., she woke up on the bed to find the man had his hands inside her underwear. When she confronted him, he told her she hadn’t had a problem with it before, she said.
She left the hotel and went to a friend’s house. After speaking with her friends, she went to Bloomington Hospital, where she spoke to police.
Police spoke to the suspect via telephone, Kellams said. He agreed to meet detectives for an interview Monday at some location between Bloomington and where he lives.
